these easy steps and your skin will thank you.
1 ~ Cleanse your face.

3 ~ After that make a quick and easy natural mask. Get about a 3/4 of a cup of plain yogurt and a 1/2 of a cup of flax seed meal and mix together. Then scrub on your face for about 2-3 minutes. This will get all of your dead skin cells off.

♥How to go from night to morning makeup:
I think we have all heard how to go from day to night. But haven't we all stayed up at least a few times until morning with some friends?! Well here are some tricks to help you look fresh faced after being up all night. If you don't have time to wash your face simply get a couple oil blotting sheets and blott away that extra shine from your face. Then touch up with concealer those tired eyes and anything you think needs it. Dust some makeup powder over your face and get a nice daytime eyeshadow and apply some mascara and wallah you have gone from a night to day makeup look in a matter of minutes.

♥If you have brown eyes consider yourself lucky. Brown eyes look great and pop with really any color eyeshadow. Bronze, blue, lavender, copper, pink, coral, gold, green, and grey eyeshadows are some of the colors I think look the best on brown eyed women.
♥Women with hazel eyes look great in neutral color eyeshadows. I think gold, brown, pink, lavender, plum, mocha, beige, teal and purple eyeshadows look great on hazel eyed women. Blue hued eyeshadows should not be used in excessive amounts on this eye color however, it can make ones eyes dull.
♥To have smudge proof eyeliner get a long lasting eyeliner formula, I suggest waterproof eyeliner. Apply your liner by making dashes rather then trying to make one line. I find this is not only easier to do but it really enables you to have your eyeliner as thin or thick as you want. To finish the look simply set your eyeliner with a similar shade of eyeshadow by just applying a little dusting over the liner. It isn't absolutely necessary to add eyeshadow but it will definitely make your liner smudge proof all day long.
♥To heighten your cheekbones smile while you apply your blush to the apples (fullest part) of your cheeks. Then brush a powdered bronzer or darker shade of blush below the cheekbones.
